NFO
I am currently in nfo primary and was curious what the big stigma is about e2's. Why does everyone seem to want to avoid them like the plague come selection time?

Tycho....you ever consider that if you have to use that many qualifiers in your answer, maybe you were better off just not answering in the first place? "Intel surveil recon"...I'm not even sure what that is.

I can't speak for FO's, but . . . . . . . .
Some things in the universe are constant.*sigh*
So you're at VT28 huh? Well played.Well he is asking about why other Primary guys don't want E-2's, but whatever.
And it's ISR, intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance, but I'll shut up now.

I can't speak for FO's, but I know pilots tend to avoid it. That is to say, I know quite a few here in Primary that really don't want E-2's. Their mission is C3 and ISR, command control communications and intel surveil recon. The impression I get is that they tend to loiter in a big circle while the aircrew do their thing, so it's not very fun for the pilots. Might be more fun for NFO's, not sure about their role in the whole thing. But you're not flying very fast or very low unlike the jet or helo guys, and you deploy with the carrier unlike the maritime guys, and you have to sleep on the carrier unlike the COD guys. It's all personal preference, and most people prefer something else, I guess.
